1995 Volkswagen T4 2.4L Diesel · M880 DFG

The most recent MOT on 5 June 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, but the test history shows a cluster of failures in 2024 and a further failure on 15 May 2025 before that pass. The pattern indicates recurring issues that required rectification, though the current certificate remains valid until June 2026. The trend appears to have stabilised with the latest pass, but the frequency of failures in the preceding 14 months warrants caution. The vehicle has covered 240,673 miles over 31 years, averaging roughly 7,764 miles annually, which is typical for a commercial vehicle of this age. Mileage progression between tests is not detailed in the supplied data, but the test dates suggest annual testing intervals with an extra test in April 2024 followed by a same-day retest on 13 May 2024. No significant mileage anomalies are evident from the available records. Because the DVSA data supplied lists no specific defect codes for any of the failures, a buyer cannot identify which systems caused the failures from this record alone. The sequence of a failure in April 2024, a same-day fail-and-pass in May 2024, another failure in May 2025, and a pass three weeks later suggests items such as brakes, suspension, lighting or emissions were borderline and rectified quickly. An in-person inspection should focus on structural corrosion common to the T4 chassis, the condition of brake discs and calipers for binding, suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, and the integrity of the exhaust system. The absence of recorded advisories or defect details limits the ability to assess ongoing wear trends. A thorough pre-purchase examination must verify that previous failure points have been properly repaired rather than temporarily patched, and that no latent corrosion or mechanical wear has developed since the last test in June 2025.
